Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 heads broccoli (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), cut into florets, stems trimmed and cut into slices 1/4-inch thick
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
Pinch red pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/4 cup olive oil
3 scallions, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
5 large fresh basil leaves, torn
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce, optional
1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce, optional

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Put broccoli in a bowl and season with salt, black pepper, ginger and red pepper flakes. Toss with garlic cloves and oil. Spread broccoli on a baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender and lightly browned. Discard garlic cloves. While broccoli roasts, combine scallions, cilantro, basil and mint in a large bowl.
  • Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine rice wine vinegar, lime juice, olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce and, if you want a stronger-flavored dish, fish sauce and sriracha. Whisk until emulsified.
  • Add cooked broccoli to the large bowl with the herbs and toss. Add vinaigrette, to taste, and toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my broccoli turned out mushy. Maybe I cooked it for too long?

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking, but the broccoli was cooked well.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

This Asian broccoli recipe was a hit with my family! The broccoli was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I added a little extra garlic and ginger to taste, and it turned out perfect. Will definitely be making this again!
